Blogiversary Giveaway!!

It's here!!! My one year blogiversary! I honestly can't believe it's been a year since I started this little blog and how it's grown. For the first 3 months, my family would see me sitting at the computer and say, "There's mom, talking to herself again!" and I was!!

I want to thank each and every one of you for taking time out of your day to stop by. A year ago, I never would have dreamed that I could actually make real friends in this blogging world of ours. I'm not going to name names because I'm so excited I might forget someone, but you know who you are. I'm starting to feel a little like Sally Field accepting the Oscar right now! You like me, you really like me!

I wish I could give each and every one of you this giveaway, but I didn't win the lottery Saturday night so there will just have to be one winner. I want to give one of you some of my favorite things!

I had so much fun shopping, let me show you what I bought.

I love picking up Jellies (long strips of coordinating fabric) from JoAnn's when I'm there.

If you've never used these "turn right side out things" you will absolutely love them! They make turning fabric tubes right side out so easy! Like when you're making straps or handles and you struggle with the safety pin, no more with these! By the way, that's not the official name for it, just what I call it.

What can I say? You know I couldn't live without this!

and this for mod-podging! Thank you, Kathleen, for telling me about this little tool!

Your hands will thank me for these snip scissors! Awesome!

I adore going to Bath & Body Works and bought you my favorites.

My son, Josh, is a manager at Bed Bath & Beyond, so of course I went there. Fluffy Towels Yankee Candles is my absolute favorite!

All of those items are lovely. If I had to choose just one as my favorite, it'd be those scissors. I did all my rag quilts w/ regular scissors. Ugh! You can imagine I haven't made a rag quilt in a long time now - lol!

One of my favorite things... bath and body works hand sanitizer... I was trying not to talk about craft so this came to mind... I have a minor obsession and since they are always on "sale" I always have to buy 5 more... my blog later this week is going to talk about your give away so I will comment then as well :)

Seriously, I made a purse the other day and pulling the inside out straps through to be right side out took FOREVER! I am going to look for one of those pully things and it will soon be one of my faves!

One of my favorite things... well from your basket, it's the bath & body works products. Not from your basket, a steaming hot cup of coffee with fat free creamer in a beautiful orange cup... much like I'm drinking right now!

Congratulations,Terrie on your first anniversary! Loving all the wonderful items you picked out for the giveaway. And thanks for hosting for us each week. Wising you many more wonderful and inspiring posts. I'm your follower. Hugs~Poppy

I am now one of your newest followers by email and am following you on Pinterest (which I LOVE, by the way). What an awesome gift collection. I'm never that lucky....but I can always hope!!! Be blessed...

One More Little Thing

I would love it if you see something I’ve done and want to make one for yourself or give as a gift, but not to sell. Please link back and give credit where credit is due. I would like to see what you’ve done to make it your own (improved the idea). Thanks for visiting!
